Australia Asia Worker Links is hosting a Public Meeting to discuss the various ways that racism divides the labour movement. Capitalists have many weapons in their arsenal to use against workers’ organising – they import workers that are desperate to migrate, and pay them lesser wages because of this desperation; they hire transient holidaying workers that have limited investment in proper wages and conditions in the country they’re visiting; they invest and participate in wars that create refugees that are unable to be resettled anywhere. So how do we fight back? And how do we combat racism in a period where so many wars are raging across the world? This AAWL seeks to build a strategy for international workers’ solidarity for workers everywhere, with a focus on refugees, migrants and workers crossing borders.
Wednesday 4 April at 6pm at the AMIEU, Level 2, 62 Lygon Street, Carlton
The meeting will be in Melbourne, with a skype link to include comrades from Bangladesh, Malaysia and the Philippines. If you’re interested in participating via skype, contact jiselle@aawl.org.au
